Maggie the Kelpie, believed to be the world's oldest dog, passed away while asleep in her basket Sunday night.

Maggie, who belonged to Australian dairy farmer, Brian McLaren, was 30 at the time of her death. That's approximately 200 in human years. According to McLaren, Maggie had been happy and healthy up until two days before her death, when she began to deteriorate.

"She was still going along nicely last week," McLaren told local newspaper The Weekly Times. "She was walking from the dairy to the office and growling at the cats and all that sort of thing."

Though McLaren doesn't have any birth certificates for Maggie, he argues that he purchased her four years after his 34-year-old son's.
